Arnold would like to hold a captain’s meeting next Tuesday, December 16th at 90 West at 7pm.  Everyone is welcomed, captains and players alike.  There will be a game of “tree strikes u’r out” (you’ll have to ask Arnold what that is) before the meeting and a tournament after.

Subject of discussion:

Player’s Dues, Penalties, Score Sheets, Bar Dues, Rules, Starting Time, BCA Participation Interest, Open Discussion

Questions…contact Arnold at acastellanos@mwdh2o.com

Website Updates

The Rules Page has been updated.  Note that rules 5, 6, 10, 17 and 23 have been updated.  Changes to rules are underlined, however the changes to rule 23 were to remove instances were a scratch on the 8 was a loss of game, so in that case there is nothing to underline.  The downloadable word doc of the rules has been updated as well.

The Past Seasons section has been updated with the 2013-2014 Season.

The Who Owes The League $ list has been reset.

The Officers have been updated on the Officers page.

The Scoresheet available for download on the Payout Scales and Scoresheets page has been updated to the new version.

The Captain’s List is now current.

The Schedules are now current.

End of Season Party

The end of season party will be held at Gabe’s Bar & Grill:  2965 s. Sepulveda blvd, LA 90025 on Saturday, May 31 at 2pm

__________

There will be:

a meeting for the general membership

Prize Money Payouts

Elections of officers and grievance committee

Tournament

__________

Additionally, as per a decision at the captains meeting, votes will be held on the following rule changes:

Current Rules (slop) vs. Call Pocket

If adopted, the Call Pocket rule will be worded as such –  In Call Pocket, obvious balls and pockets do not have to be indicated. It is the opponent’s responsibility to ask which ball and pocket if he is unsure of the shot. Bank shots and combination shots are not considered obvious, and care should be taken in calling both the object ball and the intended pocket. When calling the shot, it is NEVER necessary to indicate details such as the number of cushions, banks, kisses, caroms, etc. Any balls pocketed on a foul remain pocketed, regardless of whether they belong to the shooter or the opponent.

Scratch On The Break – In The Kitchen (current rules) or Ball In Hand

This rule change would be straight forward, no other change necessary.

Scratch while shooting the 8 ball – Loss Of Game (current rules) vs. Ball In Hand

This would only apply to pocketing the cue ball while shooting the 8 ball.  If the 8 is pocketed in the wrong pocket, or the cue and 8 go down in the same shot, it would still be a loss of game.  This rule would only effect a shot where, when a player is on the 8 ball, he does not sink the 8 ball, but does sink the cue ball.

These votes will take place via a paper ballet.  Your captains will be emailed the ballot in advance, however, voting ballots will be on hand at the event in case not everybody is able to print theirs out.

Captain’s Meeting – Date, Time, and Location Confirmed

You should have already received an email from Pete if you are a team captain or part of the Grievance committee, but there will be a captain’s meeting held at 2pm on Sunday, May 18th at Mike Schwartz’ home.  If you didn’t get the email or need the address, contact Mike at djmichaelbasic@gmail.com or 323-304-2540

Captains Meeting and End of Season Awards Party

We are looking to have a captain’s meeting before the end of season awards party.

The date we are looking at for the party is Sunday, May 25th, so we will likely try and have a captain’s meeting on Sunday the 18th.

Times and locations will be posted here when we confirm them, and an email will be sent to the captains to schedule the captain’s meeting and discuss the agenda.

Watch this space for further info!

Website Being Updated for 2013-2014 Season

Here you’ll find info on what’s been updated for the new season. If it isn’t listed here as having been updated, it is either blank or contains last year’s info.

It might be a week or so before the schedule and first week’s scores are uploaded to the website.  Because this season requires 3 rounds of play and 4 rounds of play for Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, and the software we use to input scores is only designed to handle 2 rounds of play, a work around must be conceived, which might cause a delay in the initial posting of stats and other info.

The Fines, Fees, and Payouts link has not changed, but it is a good idea to give it a read to remind yourselves what fees are owed and when they should be paid.

The Captain’s List has been updated for the new season. If you are on that list and you are not the captain of your team, please email mike at djmichaelbasic@gmail.com and let me know who your team’s captain is, as well as their phone number (cell preferred) and email address.

There have been no rule changes so the Rules link is still valid.

The Grievance Committee page has been updated.

The 2012 Season has been moved into the archives, which can be found by following the Past Seasons link.

The Payout Scale link has been updated to include a payout scale for 7 teams.

There are no new Locations to add so this link is still valid.

The Bullpen link has now been updated.  If you know anyone who would like to be added to the list to sub on Tuesday, Wednesday, or both, please have them email me with their name and phone number (djmichaelbasic@gmail.com.)
